Thumbnails

Boen, Jan -- on Nov. 28 2005

Is there a way to only publish a thumbnail on any page?
Only when clicking on an image there should be a pop up window with the full size image?
At the same time it would be great if you could place thumbnails anywhere in a page following the flow of the text.

This default behaviour can be changed from the edit form for images. Unfold the Advanced Options and change the setting for thumbnails. Select Never to force the display of the original image, or Always to force the display of the thumbnail.

Bernard from nearby-an-airport Associate, 6696 posts	inspired from JBN on Dec. 3 2005 JBN: Basically, you can place text before and after thumbnails like you want, by moving the `[image=xxx]` tag around. Also, you have to know that a thumbnail is normally floating to the left. This allows for rows of thumbnails to flow smoothly, even on variable screen sizes. To flow one image differently, you can try either: `[image=xxx,left]` to render a left-floated image `[image=xxx,center]` to render an image at the center of a page `[image=xxx,right]` to render a right-floated image If you observe something diverging from these descriptions, it may be a bug...
